Day 5 - Bring on the drugs... (Feb 15)

Kikelelwa Camp to Mawenzi Tarn Hut Camp
Distance: 3.75 km; altitude gained: 627 m
Kikelelwa Camp - 3675m (12,057 ft)
Mawenzi Tarn Hut Camp - 4302m (14,114 ft)

Don't let the short distance fool you.  Although this was just over 2 miles of distance, we gained over 2,000 ft in elevation today, which made for a pretty steep climb.  And at altitudes approaching the highest peaks in the continental US, this was by no means to be taken lightly
